One important area of concern that has not been covered in previous symposia by the ASTM's Committee on Wear and Erosion is the connection between laboratory testing and actual operating performance of systems or components. This connection between laboratory testing, test results, and final design and performance is a crucial one in the practical application of tribology science and engineering. One of the aims of this symposium was to show by example how successful simulative testing has been accomplished. Specific examples are presented from a number of applications involving different forms of wear, including some from such specialized areas as computer peripherals, engines, and prosthetic devices. An important consideration in all the presentations was the identification of critical use conditions. Nine of the papers have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base.
